The University of Chicago Martin Marty Center

Religion, Ethics, and Culture

Directed by William Schweiker, the focus of this project is on the creative inquiry into and the conceptual interrelationship among theology, ethics, and culture. Particular attention is given to the subtle dynamics present in our age, among them the relevance of theological reflection for cultural analysis in public life, the rapid advances in technology, the movement of the economic order toward a single, global economy, and the pressing demands for dialogue between the world's religions. The REC site will be organized to provide information for people interested in the complex connections between theological or religious ethics and cultural analysis and to provide bibliographic and professional information on persons currently working in this growing field.
